The gas mileage on my 300s has always sucked, compared to my previous 250, no matter what needle I use. At the Quarry Run the stock tank on my '03 EC300 ran dry at 45.6 miles and gas was at 46.1. Of course most of this can be attributed to the auto-clutch. Prior to installing the auto-clutch on my '01 XC300 I went over 50 miles on the stock tank.
It doesn't really bother me when riding technical trails since we're never more than 5 miles from the truck. From now on, on longer runs, I'll be using my oversize tank. In fact, back in '06, I ran a couple enduros with the oversize tank and didn't even fill up at the gas stop.
